When Li Zixiao returned to the camp with a group of horses, he found that their camp was being attacked by a group of rogues.

It's a pity that the combat effectiveness of these rogues is really not very good, and the white dragon soldiers in the camp rely on the camp to refuse to defend and keep four or five hundred rogues out.

"Kill!"

Li Zixiao roared angrily and led hundreds of soldiers to kill him.

At this time, he was holding back a breath of anger in his heart, and the development of things today had exceeded expectations, and it was clear that he was calculated.

At this time, Li Zixiao vented all the anger in his heart on the rogues in front of him.

With Li Zixiao's return of help, the next battle went very smoothly, and almost before Li Zixiao led people to kill, those rogues had already fled.

Despite this, Li Zixiao still did not let them go, and led his subordinates to chase them for several miles, killing dozens of unlucky rogues, and venting the anger in his heart.

It wasn't until after dark that Li Zixiao returned to the camp, and Li Tianba also escorted a group of bandit captives back.

"Quartz, send someone to contact Ergouzi immediately, I want to know what is going on during the day today? If he can't give me a satisfactory answer.

He, the director of the Intelligence Department, doesn't have to be the director, where did he spend the 100,000 taels of silver that Lao Tzu just allocated to him last month.

Today, Lao Tzu was yin, and he didn't send back any news in advance, so he rushed to see me immediately. ”

After returning to the camp, Li Zixiao was furious, and all his subordinates were silent.

"Tianba, do you have any useful information to squeeze out of the mouths of those bandit captives?"

"General, these bandits don't know anything, they were originally wandering in the north and the post area, but three days ago, their leader suddenly took them south to Yangzhou.

The rest of them don't know anything, and these are the little minions of this group of water bandits, and their big leader was killed by us.

Several of the other chieftains fled on horseback. Li Tianba reluctantly reported to Li Zixiao.

"Cao, wait for Lao Tzu to know who is yin Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is not finished with him." Li Zixiao said in a cold voice.

"Tianba, send all the sentinels of your camp out to find out the situation around our camp, I always feel that this matter is not over."

"Yes, General."

"Quartz, send a monk with my handwritten letter, and ask him to take a few elite soldiers to secretly go north overnight, return to our territory, and hand over my letter to Wei Hong.

Let Wei Hong send someone to pick us up, judging from the posture of today's day, this time the enemy force of Yin is not small.

Not only colluding with these bandits, but even mobilizing other officers and soldiers, we have to prepare for the worst, it seems that I can't go back to Jinling this time.

I don't know how Zilong and they are doing in Jinling? My biggest concern is my mother's safety! ”

Li Zixiao also thought about what happened during the day, the more he felt that something was wrong, those officers and soldiers who attacked them in Yangzhou City obviously did not belong to the local officers and soldiers in Yangzhou.

This made Li Zixiao feel that this time it was estimated that a big man was targeting him.

Soon, the monk left the camp with ten personal guards, took off the clothes of the White Dragon Army, and went north overnight to ask for help.

It didn't take long for the sentinel sent by Li Tianba to also come back, bringing back bad news.

Li Zixiao's premonition really came true, and they found several armed forces of unknown origin in several directions around them.

"These people are all dressed as officers and soldiers, and they should be officers and soldiers who came from the surrounding guards."

After Li Zixiao heard the news reported by the sentinels, he was also greatly surprised, it turned out to be the people of the imperial court who attacked him.

In this way, the person who is going to deal with him this time definitely has a great background, but he can't remember when he has offended such a court official.

After all, he has been rebelling in the area of Yongcheng, and now he has returned to the imperial court, so it is said that the imperial court should not deal with him anymore.

In the second half of the night, Li Zixiao stood on the wall of the camp, and he could faintly see that there were figures shaking in the night in the distance.

At this time, Zhang Fugui also hurried over.

Peng!

Seeing Zhang Fugui rushing back, before he could speak, Li Zixiao went up and kicked Zhang Fugui directly.

Zhang Fugui didn't dare to make a sound, so he quickly got up and stood in front of Li Zixiao in a proper manner.

"Ergouzi, if you don't give Lao Tzu a satisfactory explanation this time, you can roll me to the logistics office to feed the horses."

"Say, what the hell is going on? Who is behind the calculations of Lao Tzu! ”

Zhang Fugui heard Li Zixiao's roar, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he could see that Li Zixiao was really angry this time.

"General, you really don't blame me this time, I didn't expect such a force to suddenly emerge and attack us.

You also know that our intelligence system in the Jiangnan area has just been established......" Zhang Fugui said with a bitter face.

"Okay, I don't want to listen to you complain to me, if you can't do this thing, just get out of here as soon as possible, make room for me, and I'll let others do it."

I won't listen to your explanation this time, I want an answer, who is in the yin during the day, don't say that you don't know anything. ”

Li Zixiao directly interrupted Zhang Fugui's explanation, walked up to him, glared at him coldly and shouted.

"Yes, yes, the officers and soldiers who entered Yangzhou City during the day today, I only know now that they are guards from the Zhenjiang Guard.

Not only that, but before I came, I got the news that not only the officers and soldiers of the Zhenjiang Guard Station appeared in Yangzhou, but even the guards from Gaoyou, Taizhou, and Yizhen around them also gathered in Yangzhou.

They were all ordered by Lu Da'an, the governor of Zhili, saying that the general privately led troops to cause trouble in Yangzhou, intending to rebel, so that they could calm the chaos and punish the thieves. ”

Zhang Fugui said cautiously, this is also the most information he can get at present.

After Zhang Fugui finished speaking, he carefully raised his head and glanced at Li Zixiao, and when he saw Li Zixiao's uncertain face, he didn't scold him anymore, and he was immediately relieved.

"Lu Da'an? Governor of Naoli? I remember not offending this person? Why did he go so far against me? ”

Li Zixiao fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Li Zixiao thought of something, and asked Zhang Fugui in front of him: "What is the relationship between this Zhili governor Lu Da'an and Lu Yuanqing, the town guard of Jinling City?" ”

"General Qiyu, the two of them are uncles and nephews."

After Li Zixiao heard Zhang Fugui's words, he instantly understood why Lu Da'an, the governor of Zhili, was so aggressive against him this time.

After Li Zixiao crossed over, he inherited the memory of the owner of this body, and knew that the real Li Zixiao had to escape because he was framed and killed the son of a general in Jinling.

And according to the memory inherited by Li Zixiao, that general was Lu Yuanqing, the guard of Jinling Town, and now everything is clear.

Presumably, it must be the Lu family who knows his true identity at this time, and this is to take revenge on him!

"Cao, I knew that the people of Yin Laozi this time must have a lot of origins, a governor of Zhili, a Jinling town guard, such a big origin!"

Li Zixiao's face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a cold voice.

"Ergouzi, how is Zilong doing in Jinling? What about my mother? Li Zixiao thought of this and asked.

When Zhang Fugui heard Li Zixiao's question, his face cried, and he said with a sad face: "General, the time is too urgent, I haven't received the news from Jinling yet."

However, two days ago, I received the last message from Jinling, when the old lady and Zilong were fine, and Zilong had already found the old lady and had taken care of her. ”

"No, Ergouzi, you set off immediately, personally lead people to Jinling overnight, and contact Zilong at all costs to confirm whether they are safe.

If they are still safe, they will immediately find a way to take Zilong and my mother out of Jinling, and then find a safe way to return directly to Mangdang Mountain.

Li Sheng, you order thirty elite soldiers and escort the two dogs to Jinling. ”

After Li Zixiao finished speaking to Zhang Fugui, he immediately named the name of a tiger battalion general and ordered.

"Yes." Li Sheng replied loudly.

"Yes, General, the second dog will definitely bring the old lady back safely."

Zhang Fugui still likes Li Zixiao to call him Ergouzi, if others call him that now, he can't fight with that person.

"The surname is Lu, I want to see how capable you are, and whether you can really destroy Lao Tzu."

With Li Zixiao arranging properly, those who went back to ask for help asked for help, and those who were sent to pick up his mother from hunger also left, and the most important thing now is that they are left to get through this wave of crisis first.

With the soldiers taken away by the monk and Zhang Fugui, plus the soldiers and horses lost in Yangzhou during the day, Li Zixiao barely had 700 people in his hands at this time.

The structure of the Tiger Battalion is quite complete, the elite is not lost, and the main force is still alive, which also gives Li Zixiao enough confidence to solve the several guards who came to attack tonight.

"Tianba, stone, gather men and horses, and prepare to fight!"

"Yes!"

…………………………………………………………………………

The night is pervasive, and the half-moon is high in the night sky, and the moonlight is still bright tonight.

At this time, this wooden village of the tiger camp built in the wild was quiet, and it seemed that it had fallen into a deep sleep.

It's just that under the cover of the dark night, Li Zixiao is fully armed, leading the soldiers of the seven hundred tiger battalions, waiting quietly and preparing.

"General, the enemy has appeared."

The sturdy iron egg gently walked to Li Zixiao's side and reported.

Li Zixiao nodded, with a straight face, and said, "Hold the troops first, and wait for them to do it first." ”

The night breeze was blowing, and the dew was wet and heavy, but it couldn't extinguish the anger in Li Zixiao's heart.

At this time, it is already October, and the weather is very cool.

In the camp of the Tiger Ben camp, not far away in the night, a middle-aged officer and army general with a lion helmet and beast belt, white robe and silver armor straddled a horse, and more than 600 elite officers and soldiers stood behind him.

At the forefront of these officers and soldiers, there were about 200 officers and soldiers, they were clearly armored, standing like pine, and their eyes were full of murderous intent, which was very different from those officers and soldiers in the back.

These two hundred people are the elite people who have seen blood at a glance, and they are by no means comparable to those rabble.

The middle-aged general looked at the camp in front of him at this time, and a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Have you all arrived?"

"My lord, Gaoyou, Yizhen and the people of the three guards in Taizhou have arrived, a total of more than 2,300 people, in addition, we have also temporarily recruited the garrison soldiers and horses of Yangzhou City, as well as the three hundred families from the Wanjia family.

At this time, we have a total of more than 3,500 people, which is more than enough to deal with this group of rebels. A cronie said respectfully beside him.

"Don't be careless, as the saying goes, 'the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength', I don't want any accidents, this time the old man handed over this matter to me, I must do it beautifully.

Inform the thousand households of the three guards that if this group of rebels can be destroyed this time, I will ask my father to take credit for them.

Moreover, I heard that this dog thief surnamed Li is very good at collecting money, and he has made a lot of money in Yangzhou, so I told them that I killed this group of rebels this time, and I didn't want any of the silver seized by them.

This dog thief surnamed Li killed my nephew two years ago and let him escape, but I didn't expect to let him get mixed into the guerrilla after two years of not seeing him, and he was higher than Lao Tzu's official position.

However, this time he even dared to blatantly go home to save his relatives, if our Lu family did not destroy him, how could we gain a foothold in Jinling in the future.

It's a pity that he can't be allowed to go to Jinling, otherwise he will be constrained too much in the Jinling territory, but I didn't expect this guy to stay in Yangzhou for so long without knowing how to die.

We just had time to deploy our staff, and this time he couldn't come and go. ”

This middle-aged man is the fourth son of Lu Da'an, the governor of Zhili, named Lu Yuantong, and Lu Yuanqing, the Jinling town guard, are cousins, and they are currently the Zhenjiang guard.

Lu Yuan was just over thirty years old at the same age, and he was brave and fierce, he did not take the imperial examination, but became a military attachΓ©.

This retaliation against Li Zixiao was led by Lu Da'an and Lu Yuanqing behind the scenes, but Lu Yuantong was responsible for the specific implementation.

On the other side, there were five people surrounding the Huben camp at this time, except for Lu Yuantong.

In the other four directions, there are also guards from Taizhou, Gaoyou and Yizhen, as well as garrisons from Yangzhou and soldiers and horses composed of Wan Jiading.

As the governor of Zhili, Lu Da'an almost always controls the military and political power of the entire Zhili, and he is in a high position, who dares to disobey his orders.

The thousands of households in these three guards also know that this is an opportunity, an opportunity to climb the high branches of the Lu family, once they become the lackeys of the Lu family, there is hope for them to soar in the future.

The thousands of households in the three guards, regardless of whether Li Zixiao really rebelled or not, Lu Daan said that they were traitors, and they were traitors.

Besides, Li Zixiao was a traitor before, which made them believe it even more.

A short, dark-faced middle-aged man in the east, dressed in shabby armor at this time, drew a long knife in his hand, and under the light of the moon, it flashed with cold light.

"Brothers, enter this camp tonight, kill all the thieves inside, and give each person three taels of silver after the war."

"Whoa!"

In front of this middle-aged man, the officers and soldiers of the guard who were originally standing crookedly all shouted when they heard that there was money to be taken at this time.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Seeing the morale of his subordinates being stimulated, a smile appeared on the face of this short and swarthy Qianhe, this guy is Qianhe of the Gaoyou Guard.

He knew that the rebels in this camp only had tens of thousands of taels of silver in their hands, and when this battle was over, he would at least be able to get more than 10,000 taels of silver.

When the time comes, even if he gives each of his subordinates three taels of silver, he will still have eight or nine thousand taels left.

That's a lot of wealth, and it's all caught up with him to deduct the salaries of several of his officers and soldiers, and he won't refuse the orders of his superiors just for this money.

There was obviously something wrong with the intelligence of these people, and they thought that Li Zixiao only had tens of thousands of taels of silver in his hand at this time.

If you let them know, at this time, Li Zixiao went back and forth, cracked down on smuggling salt dealers, robbed three money houses and confiscated Yufu.

This series of actions made the gold, silver and other property that he had piled up in the camp at this time add up to nearly 400,000 taels.

In addition to this road, there were three other groups of people in the other three directions not far from them.
